Unload tape after completing backup

On my Tru64 Unix system I was able to unload the tape from the backup script with mt unload. Does anyone know the command to do this on HP 11i v1? I have searched the forum and looked in the mt manpages.

mt -f /dev/rmt/?mn offl

will eject/unload a tape.

The mt offl command will do this -- if the device supports it.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Re: Unload tape after completing backup

Thank you both for the solution. Apparently I misunderstood that going offline means the tape is unloaded. I did see this in the manpage.
